Clottey calling out Paul Williams for Nov. 29 fight...

[amat]

Gah, Clottey is such a limited fighter. He has absolute no outside game whatsoever and any time he gets in with a good boxer like a Cotto or a Williams he is going to be handily decisioned. His only outside weapon is the right hand which is what caught Judah, other then that he is a middle of the road welterweight as far as the top guys go. And he isn't at all relentless like Margarito in fact he fades in the second half of just about every fight he is in while Margarito stays constant if not ramping it up. Cotto would box Clottey silly imo. That's not my adulation for Cotto just my feeling that Clottey is waiting to be found out. Already has actually but that ridiculous excuse that he broke his hand comes up. It's like Paulie Malignaggi using the right hand as the reason for not throwing the jab, or for getting hit so often by N'dou. Ridiculous.

As for Margarito-Williams II. I think Williams wins that one even more comfortably if he just keeps on his toes and doesn't get stationary as he did in the first fight which almost cost him.

Margarito-Williams is very hard to pick for me. So is Margarito-Cotto II I would like to see a Clottey fight for Cotto to rebound or maybe a Berto fight.

There.

I really like to see a Clottey-Cotto fight but again this fight will not happen soon... not after Margo-Cotto rematch... Clottey, Margo, Cotto are all TopRank boxers and Arum will not match these three with Williams...

Pavlik vs. Williams also fell through... Pavlik is also TopRank...

Arum has no problem matching his fighters up in fact promoters prefer that that way they don't have to split promotional fees. And why would Clottey and Williams be an issue? Top Rank and the Goosens have worked together before.

I think it has something to do with Williams adviser, Al Haymon who happens to be PBF's adviser when Team PBF dumped the $8M Margo/TopRank offer...

This also has something to do with the failed Pavlik vs. Williams fight negotiations... Arum said he will not do business with the Williams camp again.

Would be a good fight....Clotty would have to make sure he did not fade in the mid rounds

Cotto is a much more complete fighter than Clottey. Cotto will outbox Clottey and Clottey doesn't have the raw power of Tony to systematically wear Cotto down like Margarito did. Margarito was really the worse possible match up for Cotto, even more than Paul Williams. I've said for a long time, way before the fight happened the Margo was a tough matchup for Cotto because of the uppercuts, chin, and body work. Tony was able to win because of his superhuman chin and even in the rounds he lost, he made Cotto pay for everything. Clottey can put that kind of hurt on a guy (35 wins 20 KOs). Clottey is textbook and has good defense, but Cotto is faster, has better timing, and a more diverse offensive arsenal.

People are a little down on Cotto now because he got stopped by Tony, but he's still the the most complete fighter at WW and I think the only guy who can beat in at that weight is Tony.

If Cotto and Tony are going to fight again (bad idea for Cotto), Paul Williams should nut-up and fight Clottey in November. It's the most logical fight by far.

williams would win. he punches more than clottey

[No Contest]

I think Williams can beat anyone in welter or lmw right now. He could be two division champ if he wanted. No one wants to fight the guy, I repeat no one wants to fight the guy. Cotto=no way..., Clottey and Margarito are his only options at ww and now Margarito is gonna be taking a gimme probably before another Cotto rematch. Williams would be wise to take this fight, raise his stock even more then the winner of Margarito-Cotto 2 would almost be forced to fight him....Berto is just too damn short to be mentioned.

[LEGION]

Williams will win as Clottey will have trouble landing anything on him, and that especially since his output isn't really high. Williams will punch him silly though I would love to see the fight. Williams UD imo.
